NAME

LRpt::CollUnkeyed - Object of this class represents a collection of unkeyed rows

DESCRIPTION

This class is a part of LRpt library. Object of this class represents a collection of unkeyed rows. Unkeyed means that there is no key specified for these rows. This collection is used for Expected-Actual comparison. Sometimes a key of the exected row is not known or diffucult to predict (if this is a unique ID automaticaly generated by the server).

METHODS

new

  my $uk_coll = LRpt::CollUnkeyed->new();

Constructor. Initializes fields.

add_row

  $uk_coll->add_row( $row );

Adds a row to a group. A group contains all rows, which have have same amount of fields defined. Each group is devided on groups of rows having the same values of all defined columns.

add_to_group

  $uk_coll->add_to_group( $row );

It increases the number of equal rows (the same amount of fields, all fields have the same values).

is_equal

  my $res = $uk_coll->is_equal( $row1, $row2 );

Checks that $row1 and $row2 are totally equal - the same amount of fields, all fields have the same values.

is_matching

  my $res = $uk_coll->is_matching( $row1, $row2 );

Checks if a given row matches a row in collection. By matching, I mean that the row matches all fields from the row in the collection.

find_matching_row

  my $res = $uk_coll->find_matching_row( $row );

Finds a row in a collection, which matches a given row. It tries to find a matching row starting from the row, which has the biggest number of fields defined.

is_empty

  my $res = $uk_coll->is_empty();

Returns 1 if a collection is empty. O otherwise

get_remaining_row

  my @rows = $uk_coll->get_remaining_rows();

Returns all rows, which are not matched by anything.
